Long Stay QM - N030.01 Percentage of long-stay residents who have had symptoms of depression during the 2-week period preceding the MDS 3.0 target assessment date. Notes: 1. Retired QMs will populate to Quality Assurance Measure worksheets when ARD date is =< 10/1/2016. 2. Closed assessments will display new quality measures on Quality Measure Worksheet for dates => 4/1/2016. The following locations will be affected by newly implemented measures: Clinical - Quality Measure Worksheet Quality Measure Reports - Quality Measure Reports (Resident Level and Facility Measure Report) Corporate Office - Corporate Office reports > Comp Quality Measures (CMS) (Quality Measure Numerators, Denominators, Percentages) Page 25 of 37

Enhancement Item Billing Manual entry of Medicare rates is no longer needed. The system will make the necessary calculations for each state s Medicare rates based upon the selection of Rural or Urban Case Mix type in AR Type Rates setup. The implemented feature alleviates the manual entry process preventing data keying errors. After selecting New to create a new table or update an existing table, the following grid will display: Billing > Setup > Case Mix Rates Select the Unique Table ID, Effective Date and RUGS Type Medicare Select the facility s Case Mix Type Urban or Rural. If Urban is selected, the Urban Area field is enabled. A View Counties tab has been added that will list the counties associated with the Urban Area selection. Page 26 of 37

Select Ok and Save Maintenance Items Clinical IV Version 1.0 Myers Stauffer 57 (Hierarchy) has been added as an option for Medicaid RUG Version Case Mix. It has been implemented for the state of Ohio, but applies to all customers. Mississippi RUGs will calculate based on distinct days instead of total days using Myers and Stauffer s software calculation for MDS RUGS IV Version Myers Stauffer 48 (Index). Reimbursement rates are not affected by the calculation only the CMI Points are overstated due to overstating the RUG (a very small percentage). Scheduled Care Task List Assistance Legend has been updated with the following wording matching the MDS/RAI manual: TF = Tube Feeder has been removed No. 8 has been updated, Activity did not occur or family and/or non-facility staff provided care New Signature and date in Question X1100D is now overwriting prior signature and date when an assessment modification is completed. Page 27 of 37

The correct value is being updated and displayed for an MDS correction (ex. second MDS correction will populate 02). The ability to edit X0800 for MDS corrections and re-opening an MDS is allowed. Signatures (person importing MDS) are not being entered/assigned when MDS is imported for the following fields, Z0400, Z0500a, v0200b, and v0200c. The fields are now left blank. A dash is assigned to Question A1100B (as required by CMS) when a dash has been entered for Question A1100A Language. The Wound assessment transmission file contains the correct wound measurement entered on the assessment. The measurements are no longer rounded up or down, but the actual entry value will display (ex. 1.3 will display instead of 1). An inactivated COT is now displaying an XX in the MDS transmit grid instead of COT OMRA. The company name, American Healthtech, will no longer appear in the MDS transmission file sent to CMS. It will be replaced with a caret (^) symbol. The replacement symbol will not interfere with transmission or acceptance of file. Resident Information Billing Resident Status Changes, Case Mix Groups will only display State and Other CMG Tables that have the assigned RUG type in Case Mix Rate Setup. Ancillary charges incurred on resident s discharge date will be assigned Type of Bill (TOB), third digit of 3 instead of not assigning a 3 rd digit,tob classifying resident as outpatient. Partial Benefit Exhaust claims default Rug (AA000) will now pull after the RUG scores on the 837 electronic file for submission. Printed claims currently position the RUG scores before the default RUG score. Page 28 of 37

Therapies transferred from Ancillary Tracking or entered manually are calculating when an Insurance Plan which includes ancillaries that contain either a Revenue Code Override or HCPC Override with a Dollar per Discipline per Day maximum amount and/or co-insurance is present. Note: Fix doesn t include therapies entered via Ancillary Batch Entry or imported using ICI. Ancillary charges calculations whose rates were imported from a Fee Schedule that contains a markup or markdown rate will round calculations to 2 decimal places alleviating penny balances. The fee table will need to be re-imported to recalculate charges and remove penny balances. If manual adjustments were made, the effective date of the re-imported table should be the current LTC month. Important Note: There must not be any pending charges in the Adjustment Wizard when reimporting fee table allowing system to make adjustments to prior months. Resident s resource is prorated on claim when auto-populate value code 23 is selected for Fiscal Intermediary. The proration will occur based on the below guidelines: Claim covers entire month, entire Share of Cost will populate Claim covers a portion of the month a. If the facility s per diem multiplied by the number of days on the claim is less than the share of cost, display share of cost (FL39) equal the facility per diem by the number of days on the claim. b. If the facility s per diem multiplied by the number of days on the claim is greater than the share of cost, display entire share of cost (FL39). All claims created afterwards will use same calculation until share of cost is depleted. a. The following claim preference was added to prevent value code 23 from populating to the claim when the Share of Cost has been reached: Page 29 of 37

Billing > Setup > FI/Insurance Carriers > Select FI, Claim Setup button and Claim Type All Institutional Payroll Based Journal (PBJ) An employee record will not be submitted to CMS if a submission file contains a corrected hire date and the file has been previously submitted with a hire and termination date included. A message will prompt notifying submitter: This hire date correction won t be submitted to CMS because the termination date has already been submitted. An error message will not display when Job Title and Pay Type is being edited to the same as a default entry. Message will only display in add mode (not edit mode). Error message: Column cono, federal_fiscal_year, federal_fiscal_quarter, week_within_quarter, emp_id, job_title_code, pay_type_code is constrained to be unique. Page 30 of 37

Outcomes The following categories are included when the Outcomes report contains the measure, Admit/Discharged back to Hospital < 30 days with DX : See Appendix A for ICD-10 codes included for Acute MI, CHF/Heart Failure, Pneumonia, COPD, Total Knee Replacement, and Total Hip Replacement. 1. COPD 2. Total Knee Replacement 3. Total Hip Replacement Note: ICD-9 codes will display if the report date is =< 9/30/2015. Interoperability Resident s correct status of readmit and discharge status is now being included in PVI-14 transmission to COMs. Substitution Orders LTC has implemented logic to calculate and assign the Start Date/Time to be equal to the next scheduled administration date/time for substitution orders processed in the E-Link queue. The system will alert the user if a start date/time is not determinable (next administration date is not available) and require the manual entry of the Start Date/Time. The 2 following scenarios can exist and an alert message will display: Scheduled orders that have prior administration records, but no future administration scheduled or PRN medications. The last administered date/time will also be included in the message. Page 31 of 37

Scheduled orders that have no prior or future administration records because they may have never been administered. The Start Date/Time of the original order will also be included in the message. Pharmacy Centric Incoming Pharmacy Centric orders were failing prior to being transmitted to the E-Link queue when the Prescriber Order Number (PON) was not recognized by LTC. This has been corrected by allowing the system to ignore the PON if it is not recognized and import the message into LTC. The following criteria must be met: 1. If an Inbound message is received that contains a PON that the system does not recognize AND the Ignore Dispense Orders that didn t originate electronically from LTC check box is not selected in External Provider Setup, LTC will ignore the PON and the message will be transmitted to the E-Link queue with a message to create a new order. 2. If an Inbound message is received that contains a PON that the system does not recognize AND the Ignore Dispense Orders that didn t originate electronically from LTC check box is selected in External Provider Setup, LTC will not import the message. Important Note: If the LTC Pharmacy Interface Update (available August 12, 2016) was applied to your server, confirm E-link messages were correctly processed and audit any substituted orders using the Substitution History report for any potential incorrect substitutions.

Known Issues The below issue has been identified and will be addressed in a future release: Smart Charting The below run time error message occurs when accessing the Alternate Language Translation. This issue does not affect current setup or the displaying or answering buttons in the translated language. It only prevents the translation of language for new buttons.

Monthly Interval Codes A new setup for Monthly Interval Codes will allow clinicians the ability to make the correct clinical decision when Monthly Interval Codes are setup with one of the last 4 days of the month. If a month does not contain the day setup, a new calendar feature consisting of 28, 29, 30, and 31 Day tabs allows for selection of the day the order will need to fire.
